The Thompson had seen much use by the U.S. and South Korean militaries, even though the Thompson had been replaced as standard-issue by the M3/M3A1. With huge numbers of guns available in army ordnance arsenals, the Thompson remained classed as "limited standard" or "substitute standard" long after the standardization of the M3/M3A1. Many Thompsons were distributed to the US-backed Nationalist Chinese armed forces as military aid before the fall of Chiang Kai-shek's government to Mao Zedong's communist forces at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. (Thompsons had already been widely used throughout China since the 1920s, at a time when several Chinese warlords and their military factions running various parts of the fragmented country made purchases of the weapon and then subsequently produced many local copies.) US troops were surprised to encounter communist Chinese troops armed with Thompsons (among other captured US-made Nationalist Chinese and American firearms), especially during unexpected night assaults, which became a prominent Chinese combat tactic in the conflict. The gun's ability to deliver large quantities of short-range automatic assault fire proved very useful in both defense and assault during the early part of the war when it was constantly mobile and shifting back and forth. Many Chinese Thompsons were captured and placed into service with American soldiers and marines for the remaining period of the war. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s">1960s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Submachine_gun&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: 1960s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg/220px-Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="117" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg/330px-Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg/440px-Hkmp5count-terr-wiki.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="267" /></a><figcaption>The Heckler & Koch MP5, one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world</figcaption></figure> <p>In the 1960s, <a href="/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch" title="Heckler & Koch">Heckler & Koch</a> developed the 9mm Parabellum <a href="/wiki/MP5" class="mw-redirect" title="MP5">MP5</a> submachine gun.
